Jessica Duzan

Sam Hazleton

If your a dog person, I'm the Realtor for you. I have 2 bernese mountain dogs(Dexter and Lavern) who are like my children. I have been to 13 different countries and love to travel. Not many people can say the love there job, but I can! How many professions can you say you get the satisfaction and trust to help someone with the biggest purchase of their lives. I don't like the word client, I prefer friends who I work with either to sell their home or to find their new home or even better when it's both(those are really good friends). I have never met a stranger and enjoy making my job fun for all involved. I love all sports especially college football and can't pass on a good trip to Wrigley to watch my beloved Cubs. I'm always trying to make new friends, so let me help you with your Real Estate needs and become your friend.

TJ Stinde

Rick Smock

I would like to personally thank you for visiting my page! I absolutely love helping people like yourself. Especially when it comes to major decisions like buying a home. I spent the first part of my professional career for a large equipment company traveling the world. In this role, I helped customers resolve issues, train them on their product and operation, and helped drive product improvement at the factory level. The time I spent with customers helping them succeed and make decisions based on their goals created a drive to become more about the people and less about the company. This is why I transitioned to being a dedicated Broker and helping you!
